I am an LSE Fellow in the Department of Government. My current research is concerned with how individuals conceptualise linkages between international and domestic politics through protest, focusing on instances where individuals protest on behalf of populations/politics occurring in another state.

I am interested in how protest participation is amplified or constrained by perceptions of international and domestic politics, and more broadly, how individuals conceptualise the possibilities and limits of their political agency in global politics. I explore these interests comparatively through the contexts of the US, Poland, Chile, and Japan. In my work, I utilise a variety of research methods, including surveys, interviews, and participatory fieldwork.

In addition, I am interested in observational and ethical questions surrounding measurement when compiling and utilising large-scale conflict data. I am particularly interested in how we measure and utilise ‘fear’ in conflict research, how emotions may act as indicators for ‘hard to observe’ phenomena, and what counts as ‘observation’.

My PhD research has been conducted in the LSE Department of International Relations, under the supervision of Dr. Milli Lake and Prof Phillip Ayoub (UCL). I also hold an MPhil in International Relations from the University of Oxford, and an Honours Bachelors of Arts in International Relations and Ethics, Society and Law (ES&L) from the University of Toronto.
